What is The Grey Gum Tree

The myrtle (Myrtaceae) family is so huge that it has three genera under it. It is composed of over 640 species of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants. The Grey Gum ( Eucalyptus propinqua) is among these exquisite plants that are native to Australia’s eastern coast. These species of plants took their name (Gum) from the thick, gummy sap they release whenever their surface is damaged.

Its group name Eucalyptus is derived from the Greek words eu meaning “well” and kalyptos which means “covered”. The term (eucalyptus) pertains to the caps covering the flowering buds.

Grey Gum trees play a significant role in maintaining the balance of Australia’s ecology. Their roots can prevent flooding during the rainy season while their branches and foliage can provide some cover from the scorching heat. Many animals, including the huggy koala, rely on gum trees for their food.

This small to medium-sized tree has distinct smooth grey bark that it sheds in patches. Its leaves also vary from species to species. The leaves can be lanced-shaped, egg-shaped, or curved.
